One of my students, Patrick Modrovsky, is majoring in broadcasting and minoring in German. He thought that interviewing me and talking about the way I use technology in the classroom to teach German language and culture might be newsworthy. Here is the link:

I understand from Pete Smith that Peggy Semingson does a lot with video. I couldn’t find what you have your students do with video, Peggy (I need to go back to your post), but found your blog and your youtube site again, Electronica and Literacy (http://www.youtube.com/user/peggysemingson). Students must be thinking, judging, involved, and engaged when producing something that could be used as a portfolio piece.

It seems there are two areas where technology can intersect with active learning: 1) instructor methods and materials and 2) student interactive learning and demonstration of learning/thinking.
